Only Papertrey Could Get Me Back To My Blog...



Well, I have certainly been absent from my blog for one reason or another, but I couldn't let another day go by and miss the PTI Blog Hop! I love seeing all the creations that you ladies come up with, and althought this was a tough challenge, I am confident that you will still "knock my socks off."

So our challenge was to alter a CD case in some fashion other than its intended purpose. My inspiration actually came from IKEA. I spent a fabulous weekend with one of my bestest girlfriends who came to visit for the weekend, and boy did we shop literally til we dropped!!! Among the many places we went was IKEA and I came out of there with so many fabulous ideas (I'm in the middle of decorating my daughter's bedroom - can't wait to finish!). Anyway, I was so glad I checked the challenge before I left because otherwise this might not have occured to me. Here is the inspiration piece, but of course I had to liven it up a bit!

The whole thing...
Individual pieces...

Me and my Husband...
My daughter...
And finally, my son...
I will be back in a bit to compile a list of ALL of the supplies! I used quite a few bits and pieces from many, many, many Papertrey sets.
Enjoy the Blog Hop and as always thank you so much for visiting!

**ETA...
What I used:
Paper: Papertrey Vintage Cream, Aqua Mist, and Dark Chocolate
Stamps: Polka Dot Basics, “family” from Boards & Beams, “heart” from Wedding Day, “Love” from Mixed Messages, Forever and Cherish from Truly, Madly, Deeply set by Technique Tuesday, Flourish from Whirligigs set by Technique Tuesday
Ink: PTI Dark Chocolate, Versamagic Dew Drops Cloud White
Accessories: Making Memories Manila acrylic paint, Cuttlebug with heart die and polka dot embossing folder, EK Success small retro flower punch, pearls from Michaels, ribbon Dark Chocolate from PTI , Flowers from Prima and Making Memories, chipboard heart Making Memories, dimensionals, and EK Success Square Punch, and of course CD cases
